The 3D CAD Modeling is about *99.9% complete, for the following three cases:
NES,
SNES+SFC, and
n64+MemCard Cases.
The 3D-Prints, for the last two cases, did not turn out well, but the computer models, appear to be spot-on.
Here's an early photo, of the first 3D- Print Test:
The 3D Printer used to make these is old, and dying, and each subsequent attempt came out worse.Some of you got this photo early, before we made the other 3D Printing attempts.I've been working a **3'rd job, to help raise some funds, to get proper 3D Test Prints made of all three Nintendo Main Line Cases,
*and also to help fund paying a second CAD Guy for a second-opinion of the overall design, and to make sure the Hinges and Tabs are properly designed, and will be sturdy,
and for new tooling for the GBA Insert Tray production,
and for a potential new line of HuCard Cases.
**My day job is full-time/fixed salary.
My second job is mostly done by my Sister (eBay and seymoronion.com order fulfillment) but I still gotta do the Accounting, answer e-mails, and deal with product development, re-orders/re-stocking, new acquisitions, and some testing/repairs/refurbs.
The third job varies in duties, but most of the clients, lately, need work done outside, and it is summer here, in Southeast Texas.
It gets rather unpleasant, to put it nicely, and takes a lot out of me, but it's worth it.
My first priority is the Nintendo Main Line Cases (NES, SNES+SFC, n64+memcard); all of my $ is going towards them, first, so there may be a gap in availability of the GBA Insert Trays.
However,
www.videogameboxprotectors.com should be able to handle the demand, until I can resume production of them.
They had about 600 of them in stock, earlier this month.
